Drata's TPRM SolutionAdditional Benefits of Drata’s TPRM Solution

In today's interconnected business ecosystem, managing third-party vendor risk is not just a best practice but a necessity. With 54% of organizations experiencing a data breach through third parties in the last year and 73% facing significant disruptions due to third-party cyber incidents, the stakes are high​​​​. 

What’s more, our Risk Trends Report uncovered that 80% of GRC professionals lack full visibility into third-party security posture—and it’s easy to see why. The traditional manual methods of collecting security information and assessing third-party risks are labor-intensive, prone to errors, and inefficient. Well, not anymore. 

Drata's TPRM Solution

Our Third-Party Risk Management solution offers a comprehensive suite that enables businesses—particularly in the hardware, software, and technology sectors—to effectively identify, evaluate, and monitor their third-party vendors. 

The solution empowers customers to assess the impact of third-party vendors on their security posture, identify potential third-party risks, and take proactive steps in treating and managing these risks​​​​.

“Jiitterbit works with dozens of third-party vendors requiring constant vigilance alongside other time-sensitive tasks. Drata’s Third-Party Risk Management automates and consolidates key pieces of the process so we can take a proactive approach to managing risks while keeping our security program running smoothly."


—William Au, VP of Engineering Services and Security, Jitterbit

Key enhancements include:

Integrated Vendor Directory 

Vendor SSO Directory Automation

Automatically populate your vendor directory and keep it up to date. Bulk import your list of vendors or use your SSO to automatically create and maintain your vendor directory. Gain a complete picture of your vendor ecosystem and the risks they pose to your organization so you can make informed decisions.

Automated Vendor Impact Assessment 

Vendor Impact Level

Remove the subjectivity from how you assign vendor impact. Drata will automatically recommend a vendor’s impact level based on their data access, operational impact, and environment access level. This automation not only saves time but also ensures a standardized, thorough evaluation of each vendor's impact on your operations.

Advanced Vendor Security Questionnaires

Vendor security questionnaires provide deeper insight into the risk posture of your vendors. Build and share custom security questionnaires with your vendors, view vendor responses to questionnaires, and document any risks you’ve uncovered. 

Vendor Risk in Organization's Risk Register

Vendor Risk in Risk Register
